Waterville transient accused of breaking into bakery

WATERVILLE, Maine — A Waterville transient is facing burglary charges after an alert taxicab driver noticed a man entering a Temple Street bakery through a window Sunday evening, according to police.

Police arrested Khanh Le, 44, after officers arrived at the bakery, which is just a block from the police department, just after 8 p.m. and noticed the open window, Waterville police Chief Joseph Massey said.

When they secured the perimeter of the building, Le strolled out, empty-handed and with a hood on his sweatshirt covering his head.

“I would suspect he knew that they were out there,” Massey said. “He didn’t walk out with any stolen items.”
